Question

A solid force exerts force of 500 Newton. Calculate the pressure exerted by the surface where area of contact is 2000cm.sq

Answer 1

force= 500N

area= 2000cm²

pressure = force/area

=500/2000

=0.25 N/cm² (or) 0.25 Pascal

hope it helps you

Answer 2

• Force=500N
• Area=2000cm^2=0.2m^2

We know

$\boxed{\sf P=\dfrac{F}{A}}$

• P denotes to Pressure
• F deontes to Force
• A denotes to Area

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{500}{0.2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=2500Pa$
